Another idea was to keep out of the SCM buisiness and use the patch as some kind of documentation. A SCM doesn't document anything since the change is invisible at checkout and only available via looking at the file history/annaotation. That's IMO not a good way to document such an important difference. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
